‘Cold Case’ & ‘Game of Thrones’ Actors Kathryn Morris and Richard Madden Add Indie Features
1 June 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
For fans of the TV drama Cold Case, here’s some news to keep you entertained; Variety reports that Kathryn Morris, who plays Lilly Rush on the show, is set to lead the indie rom-com Confections of a Discarded Woman, with Motion Picture Corp. of America producing.
Michael Damian will be helming the project, from a script he co-wrote with Janeen Damian. Morris will be playing “a pampered Manhattan housewife who has it all until her husband unexpectedly dumps her for his acupuncturist. Faced with an airtight pre-nup” she is forced to take “a job making cupcakes at her father’s bakery in Hackensack, where she discovers that true love can be even sweeter on the other side of the Hudson.”
Now it may not be my type of movie, but this could be a good way for Morris to make a stamp on the big screen. She had a part in Minority Report, »

Fox Schedule ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,’ ‘X-Men,’ ‘Independence Day 3D’; ‘Robopocalypse’ Pushed Back
31 May 2012 1:36 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In a move that almost suggests they forgot to do this sort of thing over the course of a few weeks, Fox have dumped a very large load of release dates for their upcoming blockbusters — hotly-anticipated sequels and re-releases to be found among them. First, foremost, and most importantly: the Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel has been titled Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and is officially slated to hit on May 23rd, 2014.
It’s something we’ve heard so much about for more than nine months — you can pick or choose what seems relevant — yet an effort we don’t have a great deal on, either. Rupert Wyatt will direct; Scott Z. Burns will write; Andy Serkis is putting on the motion-capture suit; and Apes will continue their newfound domination of the planet. Being a big Apes fan who just so happened to greatly appreciate Rise, »

Spielberg's "E.T." Goes Blu In October
30 May 2012 9:55 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
A while back film fans were lamenting the fact that Steven Spielberg had only taken brief dips into the waters of high-definition. At the time "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" were the only films he directed that were available on Blu-ray.
Well the man has made up for that shortfall over the past two years as a good portion of his back catalogue has made the jump. "The Color Purple," "Empire of the Sun," "Hook," "Jurassic Park," "The Lost World," "Saving Private Ryan," "Minority Report," "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence," "War of the Worlds" along with recent efforts "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse" are all now out on Blu-ray.
It's the second half of this year however that the films most have been begging for will come. We've already heard of the announcements of "Jaws" in August and the »

What Could Have Been: Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Halo’ Movie
23 April 2012 10:37 AM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
The rise and fall of the Halo movie has become legend in Hollywood. One of the biggest video game franchises ever failing to launch a movie at the peak of its popularity due to creative differences and stubborn greed. A new article for Wired fills in a few details and examines the “culture clash” between the tech/gaming world at Microsoft and the egos of Hollywood, and how it led to the movie’s permanent place in Development Hell history. The piece, from Jamie Russell’s book Generation Xbox: How Video Games Invaded Hollywood, includes quotes from insiders close the deal and director Neill Blomkamp (District 9), who speaks candidly about how the production was “a clusterf*ck from day one.” Here is what happened to Halo:
In February 2005, Mircosoft paid screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine) $1 million for a script, beginning the company’s first (and only) foray into movies. »

Sex robots: The future of prostitution?
20 April 2012 11:04 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
According to a new report, there's no downside when it comes to sex robots -- which are expected to edge out human competition in the prostitution industry by 2050. Sex prostitutes, claims an article in the journal Futures, don't spread disease and can't be sold into sex slavery.
The report, which originated at Australia's Victoria University, predicts that sex tourists will shell out up to $10,000 Euros for services ranging from massages to lap dances to -- umm -- more intimate services.
Photo Gallery: Robots from 'Short Circuit' to 'Terminator'
The report is more speculative than concrete, imagining a theoretic club in Amsterdam called Yub-Yum that would market androids to tourists and provide "a range of sexual gods and goddesses of different ethnicities, body shapes, ages, languages and sexual features."
"The androids would be made of bacteria resistant fiber and would be flushed for human fluids, therefore guaranteeing no STIs are transferred between consumers, »

Daily Briefing. Cinema Scope 50
20 April 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Yesterday was all about the Cannes lineup, so we've got quite a bit of news to catch up with today. First and foremost, Cinema Scope has relaunched its site with a healthy selection of pieces from Issue 50, which cinephiles lucky enough to be holding a print copy have been talking about for weeks now. Editor Mark Peranson: "So to commemorate 50 issues, I came up with the silly (not stupid) idea of deciding on the best 50 filmmakers currently working under the age of 50 (or the top, or the greatest — I've spent far too much time pondering this silly adjective). I'm anticipating heaps of criticism for this in the blogosphere, but I hope this leads to a little discussion outside of the pages of this magazine, and provides a snapshot of where cinema finds itself today."
20 of those 50 pieces are online. You'll find, for example, Raya Martin on Carlos Reygadas (and »

The top 50 robots and AI computers in the movies
12 April 2012 3:01 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
They can be clanking or lithe, as big as a planet or as small as a puppy. Here’s our list of cinema's 50 finest robots and AI computers…
Who doesn’t love robots? Our metal friends have long been a source of inspiration, wonder and fear for filmmakers and audiences. A way to examine our own humanity, and view emotions – or lack of them – from a new perspective, artificial intelligence has been in films for almost as long as we’ve been making them. We seem drawn to them, more often that not casting them as our creations gone rogue and seeking to rise up against us, but sometimes as tragic figures wanting to be more like us. Either way, they’re fascinating, and pretty damn cool.

Stanley Kubrick: Master of Contradictions
9 April 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Who are the great American film directors? More to the point, who do we think are the great American film directors? Well, there’s Ford, of course, the Zeus of the American pantheon, by turns comic, epic, maudlin and humane. Then there’s Welles, the ill-fated genius, abused by producers but beloved of critics. Spielberg, even in his seventh decade, is still the boy wonder; Scorsese the mad scientist. Griffith is the wise forefather, deeply flawed but idolized nonetheless, while Hawks is ageless, just as sly and self-assured as he was at the time of “The Big Sleep” (1946).
Kubrick, however, beats them all.
Is there anyone more respected or, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, recognizable? Turn on any Stanley Kubrick movie and you should know instantly, whether you’ve seen it before or not, who the film’s director is. The peerless, pristine images; the long, empty corridors; the upturned, »

Mark Wahlberg's Toy Bear Is Stuffed With Filthy in Red-Band 'Ted' Trailer
2 April 2012 8:28 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Okay, remember Teddy, Haley Joel Osment's fluffy companion from "A.I. Artificial Intelligence?" Now picture him with a few beers and some bong hits in him and that might clue you in to what's in store for the feature debut of "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.
Funny or Die just dropped the super quadruple filthy Nsfw trailer for "Ted" in which star Mark Wahlberg and his CGI bear cohort take plush toy irreverence to another level, and makes MacFarlane's animated shows on Fox look family friendly in comparison. Also, bonus points for using The Heavy's song from "The Fighter."
Wahlberg and his wicked thick Boston accent plays John, a seemingly normal dude whose childhood stuffed animal Ted (voiced in great Peter Griffin style by MacFarlane) is not only alive but still living a gross-out bachelor existence as his roommate. When a lady named Lori (Meg Griffin herself, Mila Kunis) comes »

Shiny New Helmets: RoboCop’s Baby Blues or Dredd’s Stern Chin?
28 March 2012 6:55 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
This week, while promoting the divisive second season of “The Killing,” Joel Kinnaman was asked about his newly inked lead role in MGM’s RoboCop remake. Kinnaman said this to MTV:
RoboCop is going to be a lot more human. The first movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it. Of course, Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it’s not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it. There’s a lot of stuff from the original. There are some details and throwbacks, but this version is a much better acting piece, for Alex Murphy and especially when he is RoboCop. It’s much more challenging. [...] It’s not going to be jaw action. They’re still working on the suit and how it’s going to look, but the visor is going to be see-through. You’re going to see his eyes. »

29 February 2012 10:25 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Those of you who haven't seen the short film from F/X maven Aaron Sims called Archetype have been missing out big time. That's okay, though, because a feature film version is in the works!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chronicle producer John Davis is going back to the world of robots. The producer, who has a first-look deal at Fox and who produced 2004’s I, Robot, has picked up the rights to Archetype, a sci-fi short directed by Aaron Sims, with plans of developing it into a feature.

Ten Year Oscar Reunion: Revisiting and Revoting for the 2002 Oscars
15 February 2012 2:24 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Ten years ago the Academy moved the Academy Awards back to Hollywood after more than forty years away as the show moved into the brand new Kodak Theater. Ironically enough, here we are, ten years later and Kodak is now bankrupt and will terminate its sponsorship agreement with the home of the Oscars, which means this year the Oscars will either be held at a nameless venue or someone else will move in and slather the building with their logo. You know, probably something like the Arby's Theater, home of the Oscars. 2002 also saw Halle Berry become the first black actress to win for Best Actress and she was joined by Denzel Washington who won for Best Actor for his part in Training Day. Obviously there had never been a time when both top acting awards went to black actors and with Sidney Poitier, the first ever black actor to win for Best Actor, »

The Comedy Critic - Steven Spielberg's 'Phwoar Horse'
31 January 2012 11:06 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Adam Hollingworth casts a satirical eye over Steven Spielberg's War Horse...
There have been many great love stories in the history of cinema. Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca, Rhett and Scarlet in Gone with the Wind, Yuri and Lyra in Doctor Zhivago. Well, this week saw the addition of another great screen romance added to this swooning pantheon, a story of two lovers whose mutual desire and affection transcends the fear and horror of wartime. This love is of course between the heavily-accented country bumpkin Albert and his horse Joey in Spielberg’s latest film War Horse.
This isn’t the first time a sweet bestial romance has attained the kind of colossal momentousness afforded to mere human couples. Indeed, some could read the history of cinema as a sweeping chronicle of man’s growing affection for fitties of the animal kingdom. Oscar favourite The Artist is acutely aware of this fact, »

Dear Hollywood, Give Aaron Sims a Feature Film
26 January 2012 6:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Dear Hollywood,
If you haven't seen Aaron Sims awesome short film Archetype, then I'm sure you're familiar with his visual work.
Rise of The Planet of The Apes, War of The Worlds, Green Lantern, Clash of The Titans, War Horse, Green Lantern, Men In Black, Constantine, A.I., I Am Legend, Transformers 3, The Incredible Hulk, 30 Days of Night, It, and the list goes on as he nears completion in working with The Amazing Spiderman.
Along with his talented production company (The Aaron Sims Company), Sims has helped bring some of the biggest directors of this era some of the most creative character designs in cinema. No offense to Louis Leterrier but the only part I can effectively remember from Clash of The Titans was the Kraken scene just out of the sheer awesome use of scale and design. His work on Caesar in Rise of The Planet of The Apes left »

Here’s the trailer for Sassy Pants, some indie movie or something co-starring Ashley Rickards, Anna Gunn (Skyler from Breaking Bad) and Diedrich Bader (Oswald from The Drew Carey Show), but which mostly grabbed our attention because of the surprise big-screen return of a now 23-year-old Haley Joel Osment: It’s himmmmmm!!! “I see dead Adults…” So what’s Mr. Joel Osment been up to since the big Pay It Forward / A.I. double-Oscar-snub?
